NARRATIVE

First up for the libations is the 1791 Whiskey Bar, so named for the year of the whiskey tax rebellion under the leadership of George Washington. The hotel bar tells the story of whiskey from all over the world. Another savvy detail of the bar includes a light fixture made out of 1,200 donated whiskey bottles from Yellow Rose Distillery, a Texas distillery who programmed the bar experience and drink menu. The lighting show has twenty-five different light settings including game-day maroon, patriotic red, white, and blue and the rolling amber color of a whiskey glass.
